Mosquito outbreak hits Kansas after wet summer
Kansas faces a rising mosquito problem with diseases and itching reported in Salina and across the state. West Nile cases rose last year to 91 statewide, seven fatal, but none so far this year. KDHE spokeswoman Aimee Rosenow urges dress, drain and DEET and urges removal of standing water. Entomologists advise cleaning stagnant water, using larvicides, and targeting breeding sites in beer cans and bottle caps.

Kansas grants yearlong exemption for small trucks
TOPEKA AP Kansas moves to exempt small commercial trucks weighing 26 000 pounds or less from most safety rules for a year after a bipartisan legislative approval. The measure loosens hours of service tests and certain equipment mandates while preserving annual inspections and load tying rules. Critics warn of crashes but supporters cite insurance incentives for safer operation.
